Sorry about the late post. I have spent the entire afternoon writing my legal memorandum concerning the Massachusetts Identity Theft Statute. Other than being confused on how the structure of the outline is suppose to be (the teacher never really made it clear), I am definitely enjoying the legal writing. It's like writing a math proof back in high school where I have to go detail by detail to prove whether the fact pattern sufficiently satisfies the statute beyond a reasonable doubt.
I also got the Soapbox case this afternoon. Like the memo, I have to argue a specific side of a case...but this time I have to do it orally in front of a panel. I was assigned the respondent side and will be arguing for a Redskin linebacker who is accused of battery. The case is very interesting because its the incident occurred on the field during a game between a New England Patriots linebacker and a Redskin linebacker. More details to come later!

Moot Court vs. Law Review [John]
Even though it is the 2nd week of school, I have some very big decisions to make that effect my 2nd and 3rd year of law school. One decision is whether to enroll into the Moot Court program or the Law Review. In order to do Moot Court next year, I will need to complete the Soap Box prerequisite. Therefore, I need to enroll in the Soapbox in the next few days and present a 10 minute oral argument during the week of Sept. 8th.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am going to do Soapbox since I want to keep my options open. (I have to decide if I want to do Law Review later in the year.) I learned today that we have an intellectual property moot court team which is definitely something I am interested in. However, it seems the the Law Review is more esteemed in the legal field (unless I am going to be a litigator...which I doubt I will be). Either program will be great, but its a key decision that I need to make and it will effect my legal career.
On Thursday, a Moot Court representative will be talking to our class to help clarify questions we might have. I am definitely looking forwards to it.
What is your opinion? Should I do moot court, or law review?
